In the past influential rap groups including Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan (with deceased member ODB's son), De La Soul, Mobb Deep, Public Enemy and the Souls of Mischief have reunited to perform classic albums in their entirety.

I'm fairly certain that the mystery group that will be re-united for Rock The Bells is Outkast, tweeted @Cali_KB .
